Prime Minister of Greece to Visit Washington
Statement by the Press Secretary
Visit by Prime Minister of Greece Simitis to Washington

President Bush will welcome Greek Prime Minister Constantine
Simitis to Washington on January 10, 2002. This visit
provides an opportunity to deepen cooperation between the United States
and Greece, key NATO allies, on stability in the Balkans, Cyprus, NATO
and the European Union, counterterrorism, and preparations for the
upcoming Olympics in Salt Lake City and Athens. The visit
will also serve as a reminder of the great and enduring contributions
that Greek Americans have made to the United States and to American
society.
